The good news is that Retro is hiring more staff in order to produce games quicker, and hopefully with better quality. The bad news is that they’re still in the hiring stage. Another good assumption is that it’s for a game that has a bit more complexity than Donkey Kong, as most AI used in that game is probably about position on the screen and movement patterns.

Do you think Retro is getting more staff together for the (hopefully) inevitable Metroid game for Wii U, or are they prepping for the announcement of Funky Kong?

I feel like you’re just sitting at home with a metroid sucking on your head, making you type that XD

Might be something original, I know they’d make it good.
Even if it isn’t what fans expect, I will support them.
Too many studios are completely money-driven.
Retro isn’t one of them, they are gamers who have fun making games.
Over the last decades we have seen this studio become what it is today.
I praise Nintendo for making them develop their potential.
Do what you want, Retro, not what everyone wants you to do.
Please make that game and surprise us once again.
Let’s see them do something great once again.
Electrify us with the best game you can make.
And don’t forget to have fun making it.
Soon we will know what adventure they will put us in.
Establish new standards and live gloriously and happily.

Hopper200456

I agree completely. I have loved Retro for a long time. They’re the new Rare for me. And while I wasn’t hoping for a new Donkey Kong, I know that Tropical Freeze is going to be a great game, and I’m gonna try it out.

JB

So, what game is on your Retro wishlist? It’s hard for me to read between the lines…

just read the lines then XD

Dark-Link73

I see that your allergies are acting up again huh? 😉

Hopper200456

Yeah… when ever I hear the name Retro I get a bad case of the Metroids. It’s a very Metroid condition.

Mario

Too many Metroids in that post. Don’t you think?

Magnus Eriksson

Cranky Fit U. Thats the disappointing shit we will see. And you know it.

Funky kong with good ai would be awesome.

With all the indie studios Nintendo is acquiring, and all the hiring postings by Monolith Soft and Retro, it’s clear Nintendo is ramping up for one helluva 2014 (and 2015?).
My anticipation for DKC:TF is also growing by the minute!

long_dong_donkey_kong

As with everything on the internet, this is the best/worst news in the world.

https://twitter.com/Zorpix_Fang Zorpix

why the worst, might I ask?

long_dong_donkey_kong

Just the hyperbolic reaction of internet communities, nothing more. I personally think it means new Metroid which would be the best. It would be the worst if it means Retro is working on a new game using the Vitality Sensor (or whatever Nintendo’s quality of life initiatives are).

mojack411

Naw man, you know how much AI programming is required for Cranky Kong’s beard? That thing is the most complex piece of programming to have ever desecrated the lands!

*Ahem, joking aside >>>>>>>>>>>> Metroid.
Make it happen.

https://twitter.com/Zorpix_Fang Zorpix

XD Cranky Kongs beard has its own AI!!! ITS ALIIIIIVE

http://www.mpt-online.eu/ Sylux

a fucking DK AGAIN? Must be FUNKY Cranky Kong or maybe I’ll be the new star in the gaming world? Samus had her share now give me some love Retro, I demand it, or perhaps I should put you on my most wanted, err hunted list? hint hint.

O well if you plan to give Samus some more love then atleast let me be part of it, that’s the least I deserve, albeit in only a 20 seconds video shot in the end…, or a Metroid tries to suck my brains out… I don’t care just give me my 30 seconds on screen video time at the least…

Shinigami King

This article and all these comments make me incredibly happy! 😀

Welcome back Zorpix

They have been hiring many people recently, I wonder what are they planning.

shaun

Obviously: “New” Paper Boy HD staring Samus

Jon

Interesting, they were hiring two weeks ago as well. You guys even made an article.

i dont get the meaning of this tweet… is it really for another dk game? if its a joke why did he say it like that? why did he use the word “f***ing”? is he upset about something? to me it sounds like he is being forced to make another dk game and he is pissed about it… but then again im not on twitter. maybe i just dont get internet speak.

anyway, i hope im wrong and its a metroid fps with online multiplayer.

Vile-Okami

He’s making fun of all the people that are pissed off they made a second DK game.

Enumerating Wishes

So this new DK game is going to open world like Donkey Kong 64? You need more complex AI to move in a 3D plane so that would make sense.

Just kidding, though I’m intrigued to see what they have up their socks.

C4

Hmm… If done right I’m not against a 3D DK or even StarFox in 3D Metroid / Zelda style.

I think Retro shouldn’t work on another platformer though, at least for some time. If they want DK 3D why not make it like Mario 3D World with DK characters and environments?

NkoSekirei

im hoping their working on the next metroid prime game that be so epic

I wrote a poem for sony.

That’s literally amazing thank you haha i will make another poem later on if you give me a game or a console i’ll do my best to write about it.

triplegamer3K .

PS Vita?
Ouya?
Apple?

lonewolf

They are probably creating their own ip. who else likes that? Don’t worry about Metroid their second division were creating it for some time now we should see it in either e3 or some of tge several nintendo directs.

You could Say TF is the third in the series, if you consider the 3DS remake a second…

akv212

The internet will explode if we finally get that Metroid game that we have all been waiting for! 😀

SP-937-215

I would rather have a new Eternal Darkness. Imagine the kind of experience they could craft with the Wii U hardware.

Donaald

They should hire the former director from Epic Games.
